The CAI from RRM
Why would it matter if that was used on an automatic? It says 5 spd only.

you could always just get a pod filter and just bolt it straight onto the stock intake after removing the stock box

The trans housing in an auto is too big, so the CAI won't make it past it.

That should be a good enough reason not to get it. I have RRMs SRI in my car. I like it. Install was amazingly simple and it sounds great when you really get on the gas.

SRIs work great on auto or 5 speed.

With the grills in the front we have good air flow. I think the sri is better off. more low end power, better throttle response, and only a little less high end.

well why only more then mostly? not trying to be a pain in the *** but just curious if there's any reason you're unsure about it.
